rpfremix close tomorrow night! If you're thinking of signing up, now's the time. We still need more people, and CW RPS people specifically. I note quite a few people who'd said "participate, definitely" on the poll have NOT signed up, which perplexes me. Are y'all waiting for certain other people to sign up or something? Sign yourself up, then get them to do so!

I think I'm actively getting worse as a singer -- I haven't had a voice lesson in three years, and it's showing. I go for some high notes in rehearsal and they're much harder than they should be; I think my technique is getting rusty. At this point, I really should just stop, go for some lessons, and start again, but with the rehearsal schedule we've got, there's no time for that. I'm just going to have to ask our Music Director to work with me a little because there are a couple of times I have to sing really high (dear composer: high C is not an acceptable tenor note, no matter what you think) and I'm hitting the notes, but not *well* or *appropriately* -- my throat hurts a little afterward, and that's the sign of improper technique. :-| I used to be so good at this! And I'm still good *enough*, but that's not satisfying.
When my life settles into a pattern, I cease having interesting things to say, and so I lapse into not saying anything at all. Over the past couple days, I finished the test, turned it in to the HR guy, and got a note back from him saying he'd "sent it off for grading". Which, of course, means he has no idea what the test is actually about. Fun times. I haven't heard back from the company I interviewed with on Monday because they were in some weeklong international conference, so they had time to interview me but not to talk about me as a candidate or get back to the recruiter I'm dealing with. Despite all this, my week has been remarkably low-stress. It's been nice not to have to worry about working AND applying for jobs.
Yesterday, my friends and I had a loosely-Irish-themed party; I made Irish Soda Bread for the first time ever and it was hearty and wonderful and SO EASY. It might have been better with some whole wheat flour, but this was good with the cheddar one of the other guys brought. Here, have a ( recipe )
